..they shot digital...The memory card was empty when he went to get the images off it...Joy and I have done some weddings ourselves, video not photos, and how you could loose this stuff is eyond me. As to whomever mentioned paying big bucks for guy then having his assistant show up...We got a simular situation where we were paying for a particualr person to shoot the wedding instead her husband and son showed up instead. The guy was awesome with inanimate objects but with human subjects,,,he left a bit to be desired for me. We got it cheap either way though...but its up to us to print and color correct. He just took the pictures and gave them to us on a CD....
